My Panasonic NN-CS596S cuts out after nearly 40 secs on the microwave program, and then displays the H98 code. My contract with the Gas Board provides a call- out engineer, he has changed the Magnatron, but the fault remains. My oven is just over 3 Years old and he says it is not economic to replace other parts. Is he correct? or is it worth my while to have it looked at by a panasonic service/repair centre?
Regards Dave

There is not a lot the layman can do except maybe to try a new magnetron.It is a job for an experienced Panasonic Microwave repair man.

WARNING :

The microwave is capable of giving you a serious electrical shock even when it's unplugged , so I recommend you to call a repair technician for help .

Mine did this once and it was the magnetron. Once replaced, it worked fine. Repair is an option if it is still under warranty or someone will do it on the cheap. Otherwise, just get a new microwave, since this is the main part.
